Hi there,
So when an order is placed the invoice number isn't generated automatically unil you press the following tab: [ Create Invoice No. ]
Is there any way to automate this so that it is automatically created when the order is placed?
Is there any reason why it isn't automatically created?
Thanks.
Would you like it to generate invoice even if order still pending?
I would like it to auto generate on a completion status.

I believe that in 1.5.1.1 or so there was an auto-generate Invoice-number.
It was removed because this is not the way the Invoice-number system should work.
You could download that 1.5.1.1 and adopt the code in your 1.5.1.3

There was a comment in this thread which indicated that the auto generation of invoice numbers would be included in release 1.5.1.2.

A manual Generate Invoice button is the only way.

Hey straightlight!!!
I tried this modification.
HOWEVER, when I try access SALES ---> ORDERS i get an error:
HTTP Error 500 (Internal Server Error): An unexpected condition was encountered while the server was attempting to fulfil the request.
Also when I try and access an order from the main page of the dashboard I also get an error.
Please advise.
Thanks, Mel

In the admin - > systems - > error logs, what does it report regarding this event ?

Running it on xammp, my error when trying to access sals > orders or view the order from dashboard is:
I've tracked the offending line to be line 116 in the xml. This line:
If I remove all the coditions except for the first if (isset($this->request->get['order_id']), the error goes away. But then of course, the results aren't right. But at least it shows us where to look.
Code: Select all
Fatal error: Can't use method return value in write context in C:\test\vqmod\vqcache\vq2-admin_controller_sale_order.php on line 93Code: Select all
if (isset($this->request->get['order_id']) && !empty($this->request->get['order_id']) && isset($this->config->get('config_generate_invoice') && (int)$this->config->get('config_generate_invoice') == 1 && isset($this->config->get('config_invoice_order_statuses')) && is_array($this->config->get('config_invoice_order_statuses')) && !empty($order_status_ids)) {Could you be more specific regarding the aren't right ? What is the result that is producing on your end ?But then of course, the results aren't right.

I updated the XML file to get rid of the above error.

XML file updated. Thanks to clapiana for reporting a very slight issue in the configuration key. Further evaluation was done regarding the paste over the XML file within the wrong method name from the admin order's controller file. All is working as it should now.

You must install VQMod and upload the XML file into your vqmod/xml folder. Then, go to your admin - > system - > Settings - > Option and go to the Option tab. Then, at the bottom, you will see the auto-generate invoice options (2 of them). Then, go to the Sales - > Orders - > Order History after selecting a specific order from the order list. Upon the ones you selected from the settings previously, those settings should match accordingly from your order status history and your invoice number should be generated automatically as such and as soon you click on the Add History button.tooheys wrote:great. how do you implement the xml file?
Then, see your invoice number on the second tab on the left and you should see the generated invoice number.

The subject title does say automatic does it ? 
The Automatic term represents process you don't need to do manually ?
